The tender period is set to end on 20th November 2017, following an open procurement method. The delivery location is within the City of Edinburgh, and the associated contract is intended to provide valuable support to a specific community. The council has emphasised a quality-focused evaluation process, assigning 70% of the scoring to quality and 30% to cost considerations.
